Autumn is almost here and there’s no better way to usher in the colder months for your hair & skin than with the many benefits of lavender essential oil…
The crisp, clean aroma of Lavender has been used for centuries to ensure a night of peaceful rest (a cure for insomnia), as well as naturally scenting linen and fabrics. Known as a middle note, Lavender has been used in the perfume industry to “carry”, or hold, the fragrant components together, resulting in a stable, well-built perfume.
Due to its non-toxic, non-irritant, non-sensitizing actions, Lavender is regarded as one of the most versatile essential oil used therapeutically, and can be used “neat”, or directly, on the skin for an array of complaints and ailments, such as cuts and scrapes, bruises, insect bites and stings, burns and acne.
Cosmetic products containing lavender essential oil can bring many benefits to your hair and scalp – a great addition to any hair care regime!
Lavender’s antiseptic, astringent and moisturizing properties mean that it is ideal for combating an oily scalp, it helps fight dandruff, and adds shine and texture to all hair types. It also has the ability to soothe conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis as it is a natural stress reliever!
Our own PUREPACT organic hair care range has harnessed the benefits of lavender essential oil and introduces the NEW Lavender Softening Mask; a deeply nourishing mask for dry and damaged hair, that provides intense conditioning and natural shine for the hair. While the lovely lavender aroma soothes the mind, it also replenishes and protects the hair!
